Yep! it has happened to me also, I was using Pharmacia's band prep and my
fragments size increased, thought due to be an error since these bands have
cohesive ends, but the same never happened when using Quiaex II protocol, could
also be due to the short UV exposure instead of long UV. Pls let me also know if
you happened to find a solution.
